September 13, 2021The third recall of vaccines goes free, starting with the elderly and vulnerable, doors open to maintaining some precautions, but no intention of returning to a generalized lockdown.



These are the lines of the Covid containment plan in view of the winter that the British Tory government of Boris Johnson is preparing to formalize through the mouth of the premier after the last consultations tomorrow with his medical and scientific experts.



The media anticipate it today, reporting that Johnson and his ministers are for now opposed to even imagining a new national confinement, reserving the limit - in the case of a new winter surge in infections - of being able to re-impose the use of masks in public places as binding (in England it is no longer mandatory anywhere since 19 July, but only "recommended" on public transport or in crowded indoor sites) and to revive the widespread indication of work from home.



On the other hand, the hypothesis of a possible easing of residual travel restrictions should be clarified: in particular on the precautionary home quarantine, which according to a journalistic investigation would not have been respected in recent months by about 300,000 people.
